Nismo Wheels for the 370z

Alexsered

Can we get the forged rays replaced with a set of the nismo wheels for the 370z at the dealership? Just wondering, because I ahte the rims that come with the Z , both of them look like crap IMO

LMGT4s wont clear the big brakes. I don't think they come in the proper offsets either.

someone just posted a list of optional modifications from Nismo air intake, to the cat-back exhaust, and even listed nismo rims for $750 a rim. But I didn't know there were nismo rims available.

Actually one of our member test fitted them on their 370Z and it fits perfect.

Here's the thread:

For some reason, pictures are gone. I have asked the OP to reupload them again and use OUR album system.

I have not been able to track down the Nismo wheels yet but I do stock the Nissan 19" Polished Aluminum Wheels.



Not a bad choice IMO.

Even the 18" LMGT4's fit, so the 19" definitely will.


edit - LSUTurboTiger's first 2 pics in his thread on the subject have disappeared - but they proved that 18's fit.

I stand corrected. I could of sworn there was less than an inch clearance from the caliper to the rim with the sport package though.

Z rims must have a lip on them. Isn't that written in "Z" law somewhere?

Noooo. Z law states quite clearly that you do what you want to do.

I really like the new Nismo LMZ5 forged rims, as seen on the S-Tune 370z, but I'm not sure that they're sufficiently better, in terms of looks, than the OEM 19" wheels (which I also like) to justify the spending the money...

yeah id wait for the new 370z specific LZ5 NISMO wheels

JoeyD

In that pic it looks like the offset on the rear isn't aggresive enough.

Returning to the original questions -

1. In England the Nismos have always been a Dealer option, so I don't see why they shouldn't be in America - but beware - it may be much cheaper to source them yourself.

2. Why do you hate the OEM 19's? I think they're really nice. They have a nice japanese feel about them, they have clean lines and they'll be easy to clean. So what's the problem?

Yea i was kinda let down with that, being a big Nismo fan and all. From the Japanese site, the new LZ5's are the same size and offsets as the stock sport package wheels. They will be a few lbs lighter though.
